Fresh review(s) of Blood Picnic

If you pop over to Amazon, you can read the reviews of "Blood Picnic and other stories". Just for fun, I've included below some excerpts of a review that I think really captures what I was trying to do with this anthology of flash fiction:

There were some really good, and even great
ones...the book deserves
some of the good reviews I see here... reminiscent of Steven
King... I would read more by this author, and a couple of the
stories would have been really interesting to expand on.

For the sake of full disclosure, I've also included some excerpts of a 2-star review:

I found the
stories a bit formulaic... mechanical plot
twists weighed it down and rendered the wit trite...
more snark than substance

Which review is more accurate? Spend $0.99 and go find you for yourself! When you're done reading, feel free to leave a review. I think you'll like it, but I'm pretty biased. Whether you feel like the person who wrote that first review, or are more like the second, all views are welcome.

See that? I said "please". That's me being polite. I didn't have to do that. I could have said, "... or else I will use whatever eldritch magiks I can lay hands on so as to bind your plagiarist sins to your soul with bands of thorn and fire for the rest of all eternity."
